Microsoft.īut after everything was installed and I followed your instructions on how to use it -Bam – it all works great now. It of course wouldn’t install until I uninstalled the previous version, so I went through the whole routine again. But it did give a link to the latest version so I downloaded that one. I downloaded and installed the Application Compatibility Toolkit and of course the one I had downloaded wasn’t compatible with my version of Win 10. One program I use often is a very slow loader and resource hog, and when it tried to open six windows simultaneously it wasn’t pretty. I’ve tried the UAC Shortcut route, and it did sort of work, but sometimes it didn’t work at all and sometimes it would open multiple windows of the same program. The whole UAC thing has made me nuts since I bought a new computer with Win 10 last year. Have a different way of automating UAC prompts in Windows? Let us know in the comments. It is possible to revert the changes by deleting the non-working applications from the database and running the sdbinst command afterwards again. Most programs should start now without UAC prompt while some might refuse to start. It is then possible to test the new setting immediately to see if the changes have been successful. Sdbinst c:\users\martin\downloads\uac-whitelist.sdb Right-click the Command Prompt entry and select to Run as Administrator from the context menu. This needs to be done from an elevated command prompt.Ĭlick the Windows start button, then All Programs > Accessories. The Compatibility Administrator saves the database as an sdb file on the local computer system. Save the database of programs by clicking on File > Save As in the menu, e.g. Repeat the above steps for other applications that require an UAC prompt. It should be displayed with its name underneath the database entry. Most programs will however work without problems here.Ĭlick Next two times after a successful test to add the application to the list. If it starts without UAC prompt click next, if an error message is displayed it won't work at all.
Locate and select RunAsInvoker from the list and click the Test Run button afterwards to see how the program starts with that new compatibility mode. The next page lists the compatibility modes. This opens a new window where a program name, developer name and executable can be selected. Start with a right-click on the New Database(1), then Create New and from the context menu that opens "Application Fix".
